I studien används empiri insamlat från intervjuer för att undersöka sju kvinnors upplevelser av att arbeta på mansdominerade arbetsplatser. Utifrån en tematisk analys antyder resultatet bland annat att könsnormer spelar en stor roll för hur de intervjuade kvinnorna som arbetar inom mansdominerade arbetsplatser bemöts. Vidare visar resultatet att dessa kvinnor upplever att de måste prestera mer än män för att lyckas samt att de inte får samma arbetsrelaterade chanser som sina manliga kollegor. Respondenterna uttryckte även att de inte upplever att de anpassat sig för att passa in i gemenskapen på arbetsplatsen. Studiens empiri har ställts emot tidigare forskning, Yvonne Hirdmans genusteori samt Eagly & Woods sociala rollteori för att belysa vilka utmaningar kvinnor kan stöta på i sitt arbete samt hur kvinnor påverkas och anpassar sig till att vara i minoritet. Det förs bland annat en diskussion om att det faktum att respondenterna inte känner sig betrodda i sina roller, vilket enligt genussystemet och social rollteori beror på att det uppstår en social störning när de kvinnliga respondenterna agerar utanför rådande sociala förväntningar. Studiens analys tar även upp hur människan, medvetet eller omedvetet, anpassar sig till nya situationer, såsom att passa in i en arbetsgrupp, samt vilka “uppoffringar” detta kan innebära. Vidare diskuteras det att studiens resultat gällande det osynliga arbetet inte är helt enigt med tidigare forskning då resultatet visade att respondenterna inte upplevde sig utföra det osynliga arbetet i den grad som forskningen antyder. / The study uses empirical data collected from seven interviews to investigate women's experiences of working in male-dominated workplaces. In a thematic analysis, the results suggest, among other things, that gendernorms play a large role in hos women who work in male-dominated workplaces are treated. Furthermore, the results show that women feel obliged to perform more than men to succeed and that they do not get the same work-related opportunities as their male colleagues. Respondents also expressed that they do not feel that they have adapted to fit into the workplace. The study's empirical data has then been compared with previous research, Yvonne Hirdman's theory of the gendersystem and Eagly & Wood's social role theory to highlight the challenges that women may encounter in their work and how they are affected by and adapt to being in a minority. There is also a discussion regarding the fact that the respondents do not feel trusted in their roles which, according to the gendersystem and social role theory, is a sign of social disruption in which the female respondents act contrary to prevailing social expectations. The analysis of the study also addresses how humans, consciously or unconsciously, adapt to new situations, such as fitting into a work group, and what "sacrifices" this may entail. Furthermore, it is discussed that the study's results regarding invisible work are not entirely consistent with previous research as the results showed that the respondents did not feel that they performed invisible work to the extent that the research suggests.
